GtkLabel automaticaly generates accessibility keys on next GtkEntry and UndoableEntry fields.
Remember that Gramps also uses custom widgets like StyledTextEditor and ValidatableMaskedEntry, which do not always provide relation with a GtkLabel.

Toggle buttons and Icons on toolbar

Gramps often uses toggle buttons and alone image (no label), this excludes blind people and generates a poor interface for accessibility.

Rules (draft)

set a name for a button with image => like atk_object_set_name()

alternative to tooltip is the description => like atk_object_set_description()

for all images and icons use something => like atk_image_set_description()

a label for other widget should use mnemonic_widget() or a relation => like atk_relation_set_add_relation()

TODO need to look further for better tricks (previous and next sections) and use of tooltip with ATK.

Think on accessibility support for widgets without Gtk label or alone image on a toggle button, by adding:
